Chapter 481 The Viscount's Ominous Premonition

Although the original kingdom of the land of chaos has been completely disintegrated, some former lords still survived in the chaos.

They continued to rule the land and subjects under their command with their original titles and even the inherited aristocratic traditions.

Viscount Cron is such a surviving noble lord.

Over the years, their families have firmly controlled a large area of ​​territory with three cities as the core. In addition to the legacy of their ancestors, it is also worthy of a strong army, prosperity and order, and can be regarded as the upper class in the entire chaotic place. power.

But today, the Viscount, who was in his prime, felt uneasy for some reason.

Even if you deliberately meditate and pray silently, you can't calm down, as if something is about to happen...

"No, I still have to go out and see..."

Thinking of this, the Viscount simply put on a hunting leather suit, and then called five guards out of the castle.

Viscount Karen's family castle is located in the northeast corner of Valente City, the core of the territory. It is backed by a cliff, and the stone road in front directly connects to the core avenue of the city, and finally reaches the only city gate.

The original Villent City actually had three gates, but during the most chaotic years of the disintegration of the kingdom, the old viscount of the previous generation resolutely and completely sealed the gates on both sides, leaving only the most well-built main gate as the main gate. the only entrance.

Although this change has brought great trouble to the daily life of the entire city, and detours sometimes make people vomit blood, but it has to be said that this seemingly inconspicuous change during the war helped the family survive In the most difficult time, the lucky one survived in the end.

However, today, Viscount Karen felt more and more irritated when he saw the main city gate that was already faintly visible in the distance, representing the safe guard.

Just when he was almost unbearable and wanted to yell out, there was a panic alarm bell on the city wall.

Listen carefully, the bell strikes four times, and this represents
——A large number of unknown soldiers appeared near the city!
"Is that why I'm uneasy?"

Silently praying to the God of Destiny that he believed in, thanking God for his warning, the Viscount pulled out the hunting sword at his waist, and shouted while riding:

"Don't panic, my people, hurry back home now! My soldiers, close the city gate immediately!"

His appearance immediately made the surrounding crowd find a backbone, and they began to act in an orderly manner according to the habits they had developed for a long time.

After all, the continuous chaos of more than 30 years has made everyone accustomed to such emergencies. Even if the lord does not come forward, everyone will calm down soon.

And the people also believed that their lords were capable enough to protect everyone's safety.

But it was clear that the viscount himself, who climbed onto the city wall afterwards, was far less confident than his subjects.

"That's... Warcraft Cavalry? There are so many of them?!"

The first thing that catches the eye is a group of soldiers riding on the unknown giant beast, and then there are even more strange unknown monsters on the ground.

The huge number made him gasp, and then he winked at his confidant. The viscount's personal knight immediately nodded slightly, and quietly disappeared on the city wall.

Of course, this is not for the cronies to call the reserve team, but for him to go back and notify the cronies and guards in the castle to hide the viscountess and three children in the secret room in advance.

Once the castle is really failed to hold, at least the family inheritance will not be cut off by virtue of the secret room located deeper in the mountainside and the secret passages all over the organs.

Seeing his cronies disappear from the corner of the eye, the Viscount heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked solemnly at the enemies who had arrived not far away and started to line up again.

"Could these guys come from the original Fire Mercenary Group?"

As a close neighbor, Viscount Karen is naturally not ignorant of the Alliance, and even the two sides have some degree of business contacts.

It's just that the strict blockade has made the outside world unclear about the specific situation of the City of the Brave today, and the changes of this small force happen almost every month in a chaotic place, just like the change of wild dogs in the wasteland. It's nothing more than changing another one to pick up some discarded bones.

So except for these approaching forces, the big forces obviously won't really pay too much attention to the destruction of the Agni Mercenary Group.

"But obviously, these guys are all wrong... This is not an insignificant wild dog at all, but a dragon!"

And the viscount also found a detail.

That is, many unseen monsters are actually of the same species as those manipulated by weird adventurers who have been disturbing and chaotic places recently and cannot be killed!

Does this mean...

Realizing this and knowing how difficult those people are, he feels more and more that it will be difficult for him to keep the family business left by his ancestors today.

Of course, it is impossible to surrender directly. As a traditional aristocrat who is still proud of his noble status and firmly believes in glory, he can admit defeat, but he will not admit cowardly surrender when the actual situation of the enemy is not clear!
Therefore, no matter whether the opponent is a wild dog or a dragon, or even a monster that can be resurrected, since the enemy has arrived in front of him, his only choice is to use all his abilities to solve it as much as possible.

Of course, there is also a fluke mentality.

What if the other party is just passing by, or simply wants to extort money?

For this reason, the viscount quickly sent a guard as a messenger to ask what the other party wanted to do.

Sitting in the hanging basket, the envoy, who was determined to die, arrived in front of the opponent's army very smoothly after landing.

It can be seen from a distance that a guy standing in front of the enemy line, who seems to be the commander, received the envoy of his side, and after talking about something, he drove him back again.

Viscount Karen's heart skipped a beat when his guard walked back in a low mood.

And when he was brought back to the city wall in a hanging basket, the news that the other party sent back completely confirmed his ominous premonition.

"My lord, they...they want us to surrender unconditionally!"

There is no doubt that the meaning of the other party has been very clear, and there is not even any room for negotiation.

"Then... let's fight to the death! For glory! For our homeland!"

It has to be said that the viscount family's years of rule have really taken root in the hearts of the people, and the morale of the defenders was quickly mobilized.

Amidst the loud roars of the guards one after another, the silent enemy on the opposite side also launched a merciless attack.

In an instant, a huge amount of magic roared and swept in. More than a dozen mages gathered on the side of the city wall watched this scene and jumped off the spell-casting platform without hesitation.

In the next second, this thick special magic building was overwhelmed by countless attacks, and quickly collapsed into ruins.

And the front wall is not much better.

Although the stone city wall also has a certain degree of magic resistance because of the mixed materials and magic circle, but under the continuous baptism, it is still peeled and thinned like an onion, and even began to shake violently...
